SimCity returns to the Mac in February 2013, when EA releases the city builder as a digital download via Origin. Seeing as many of us first played Maxis' storied franchise on an Apple system, this is grand news.

"Whether you owned a Macintosh or a DOS PC, we all have memories of laying down zones and reticulating splines from our youth," said Lucy Bradshaw, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA's Maxis Label. "To the millions of SimCity fans out there, we've been listening and can proudly say that your calls have been answered. SimCity has a long legacy on the Mac and the team at Maxis is ensuring that it will be the deepest, richest and most accessible SimCity game yet."
